Chapter 10

That night in an old cold, dirty abandoned warehouse miles from Jocelyn's house Katie was asleep on the cold hard concrete floor but her sleep wasn't peaceful she was tossing and turning she was dreaming again. In her dreams, she mostly saw herself surrounded by fire and then ice and lastly monsters she could hear laughing... There were also strange, terrifying battles she mostly saw the darkness on some nights and in other's there was destruction, these were the dreams she constantly had over and over again each night until she would wake and forget them on most nights she would wake up screaming only to be comforted by her mother or father sometime she would speak to a Doctor at Torchwood but it didn't help.

But tonight the dreams she had were different they were happy she felt as though someone was running beside her, she felt as though they were running together hand in hand Katie couldn't quite see his face, but she knew he was there she felt quite happy running with whoever it was they were both running through a forest someone or something must have been chasing them but then Katie tripped and the person was gone as Katie looked up somebody came towards her.

Katie woke with a gasp she was sweating and shaking, pulling her jacket around her, she noticed that it was still dark outside she knew she was alone and terrified.

"So alone..." She said to herself as she pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them as she sat up against the wall.

Suddenly Katie heard a loud bang at the end of the building so she stood quickly and looked into the darkness to see if she could see anyone she thought she was going mad or that she was still dreaming.

"Who's there!?" She shouted

The TARDIS was flying through time and space the central column was going up and down as it was quiet and empty well except for The Doctor that is. It had been empty ever since The Doctor had said goodbye to his friends after they had put the Earth back to its original precision The Doctor had been alone ever since. He was currently rushing around the console pressing random buttons. The TARDIS had picked up a signal coming from Earth and was now following it to the year and the place that was on the screen.

Time – 12:35 am...

Date – July 20th, 2009...

The TARDIS appeared outside an abandoned building with a wheeze and grinding noise that filled the quiet area with the noise. Once it had fully come into view The TARDIS door opened with a creak The Doctor walked out of The TARDIS putting his coat on after this he closed the door behind him and looked around for a moment as he looked towards the building he took out his sonic screwdriver and started scanning the area for the signal after a few moments the sonic beeped telling The Doctor which way the signal was coming from which was inside he started following the signal.

As he opened the old rusty door to the abandoned building and took a step in he heard a very loud voice saying... "Look! Who's there!" Sparing a thought that whoever it was could be in danger, he started running as he put the sonic away in his pocket as he ran his coat whipped about behind him.

Once The Doctor had got to where the shout had come from he found a girl who had dark brown hair with jeans and a jacket which was dirty she wasn't facing him she was looking away to the other end of the building and was looking at something that he didn't see.

"Are you all right?" He asked her concerned

The girl jumped, shocked she turned around to look at him it was Katie and when she looked at The Doctor she stared right at him he looked like her father that she actually thought he was for a moment but she knew him to be dead so thought that this could actually be The Doctor.

"Hello?" The Doctor said waving a hand in front of Katie's face making her blink she knew she had to not know who he was maybe he could help her get home?

"Who are you?" She asked him thinking that wasn't what she wanted to say...

"The Doctor, Yours?" He asked

"Ka... Katie..." She replied with a nervous smile and thought to herself "So this is The Doctor then, the one her father and mother spoke about"

The Doctor looked up and around for a moment and then looked back at Katie

"I heard someone shouting was that you?"

"You heard someone shouting in a building that is miles from nowhere and you investigate?" Katie replied looking strangely at him

"I was following a signal..." The Doctor replied and looked at the sonic Katie looked at it as well but looked at The Doctor

"Oh? What signal? What's that?" Katie asked

"Never mind..." The Doctor said, looking up using the sonic to track the signal again

"Well it was me that you heard I could hear noises something is with us I can feel it," Katie said as she looked around the place and then at The Doctor who looked at her

"You sure you're all right, though?" He asked again but then looked to his right by the wall as Katie looked away, "Have you been sleeping here?" He added and Katie looked to where he was looking

"Ran away from home family argument" Katie replied, lying and looked away wide eye thinking about what she was doing she looked up and into the darkness and thought she saw something

"Wait! Did you see something move in the shadows?" Katie as she saw something move The Doctor looked up

"No, I didn't see anything" The Doctor replied as he looked towards where Katie was looking.

"So what kind of Doctor are you and what are you holding" She asked as she looked at him and then at the sonic screwdriver, but she knew what he was going to say, but she had to ask questions she didn't was him suspecting her yet even though she knew he could help her she just had to be sure he was The Doctor

"Of everything and this is my sonic screwdriver it gets me in and out of tricky places" He replied

Before Katie could say anything both of them heard something, say The Doctor's name both of them turned to where the sound came from and saw two flashes of light.
